Chapter 132 Chief Lu
Later Lu Zhizhi learned that Saloi used all his energy to activate the magic circle, stripping him and his own destiny.
So the curse only takes effect on him.
Lu Zhizhi returned to Lanyin Palace that night and looked through all the books in the study, trying to find a solution. Suddenly, the long-silent voice in his mind sounded again——
"You want to save him?"
Yes, I think.
"Why? He was the one who made your soul incomplete."
He didn't know, it was unintentional.
"If I said you have to pay an equal price, would you still be willing?"
I do.
"You didn't even ask what the cost was?"
Saloi didn't care about the price he would pay, but he could forcefully peel off the curse for me. I can't ignore him, so no matter what the cost, I will choose to save him.
However, it took a few minutes for the voice in my head to sound again.
"Go behind the door to find an old man holding a kerosene lamp. Before I died, I left something with him. That thing can help you. But don't get too happy too soon. You also have to leave something with me. He, as for what it is, you choose it yourself.”
The last word carried an echo, and the voice in my head fell silent after saying it.
Lu Zhizhi sat among a pile of books, still thinking about where to find the old man. He had never seen him last time.
"Zhizhi?"
She looked over following the sound and saw Lu Yuan standing at the door of the study, looking at her.
"Brother, I'll come back to find something."
Lu Yuan came over and picked her up from the ground, patting the dust on her skirt, "This is your home. You can come back anytime you want. You don't have to explain to anyone."
Now that they were close, Lu Zhizhi remembered the last time they broke up on bad terms. She lowered her head in embarrassment. Lu Yuan saw her thoughts and said warmly: "Just don't be angry with your brother." .”
She looked up at Lu Yuan and saw that he was as elegant as ever, but his eyes were obviously tired and red.
"Brother, have you been busy recently?"
"Still the same."
"Then why do you look so tired? Didn't you sleep?"
Lu Yuan fell silent, looked at her for a while, and said, "I heard from Qiaxi that you went to the wormhole."
Anyone else might not be able to understand Lu Yuan's unfinished meaning with this meaningless sentence.
But Lu Zhizhi immediately understood that he was worried about himself, and he probably didn't sleep much during this period.
Even if she was angry again at this time, it would all dissipate.
Lu Zhizhi hugged Lu Yuan's waist, pressed her face against his chest, and whispered, "Brother, I will never quarrel with you in the future."
Lu Yuan laughed and put his big palm on her head, "We didn't quarrel. How could my brother quarrel with you? I used to care about you too much. During the time you left, I thought every day, was it me? It makes you so suffocated that you don’t like this home anymore.”
Hearing this, the tip of her nose was a little red and her throat was sore, and she said, "This will always be my home, and you will always be my brother."
Where Lu Zhizhi couldn't see him, Lu Yuan had sad eyes and murmured, "I will always be your brother"
If he had a choice, he didn't want to become the adopted son of the Lu family.
But Lu Yuan immediately thought that if he hadn't become the adopted son of the Lu family and her brother, he might never have the chance to know her.
Lu Yuan lowered his head, hugged the heat source in his arms, and hugged her nostalgically like he did when he was a child. "Maybe this is good enough and the family can stay together for a lifetime, isn't it?"
Lu Zhizhi returned to the headquarters the next day and ran directly to Qiaxi's office.
"Sir, I still have to go to the 'door'."
Qiaxi sat on the office chair and turned around, stared at her, and said angrily: "Is that a city gate building? You can come in when you say it, and leave when you say it?"
Lu Zhizhi was startled by the energy around him. He blinked twice, stood upright with his hands behind his back and said, "Well, what should I do? What is the general process for entering the 'door'?"
< br>
Qiaxi threw an application on the table in front of her and said coldly: "Your sentries have already filled out the military application for you. The departure date is free for you. You can fill it out yourself."
< br>
"How do they know I'm going?" she asked curiously.
It turned out that Hector, who had become invisible that day, had been following Lu Zhizhi. At first, he was worried about her being alone with Saloi, but he got some information from their conversation and told Li Chenjun and others after returning. It's natural to think of curses.
They knew that Lu Zhizhi would definitely find a way to save Saloi. Instead of stopping her, they would protect her and take care of her in time if anything happened.
After learning from Qiaxi, Lu Zhizhi looked at the application form with complicated emotions and said, "I want to go alone and don't want to involve others."
"Just think about it. It's impossible for the command center to let you act alone. Do you think you can fly solo because you have special powers?"

Lu Zhizhi was speechless by Qiaxi, frowned and muttered: "Sir, I have wanted to ask you before, do you have any objections to me?"
Qiaxi was startled, looked at her deeply, and asked: "What did you say?"
"I feel it. You looked down on me from the beginning and thought I couldn't do anything well."
Qiaxi's breathing became heavier, he frowned and stared at her, saying, "You feel wrong. I don't look down on you."
Lu Zhizhi said in confusion: "Then why do you always treat me hot and cold, with a good attitude and a bad attitude, and you still lose your temper with me erratically?"
She saw Qiaxi's lips move a few times, the expression on her face was very complicated, and the look in her eyes became very strange.
Qiaxi walked up to her, looked down at her, and said word by word: "Be obedient, I treat you as a superior versus a subordinate, nothing else."
Lu Zhizhi had a question mark on her face, thinking who said what, but she didn't ask.
She said "Oh" and when she went out with the application form, she turned her face and asked Qiaxi: "Sir, how old are you this year?"
Qiaxi was holding a cigarette between his fingers and looking at her with suspicion, "What are you doing?"
"I heard from Chelsea that older Sentinels have periods of irritability"
‘Bang——’
Charsi threw the lighter at her and hit it on the door.
Lu Zhizhi quickly ran away, and Qiaxi's loud roar came from behind: "Close the door!"
The departure day is scheduled for a week later, because this week, the results of the election for the twelve seats in the Senate will be announced.
Due to the secret operations of Lu Yuan and Liu Congyun, as well as the prestige blessing of Saloi, Lu Zhizhi became the new chief of the Senate with a slight advantage of one vote.
As soon as this result came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"Why is a little girl the chief?"
"So what if she's a guide? What does she know?"
Doubts came one after another, but they were all suppressed ruthlessly by Liu Congyun, and Lu Yuan was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.
The first thing Chief Lu did when he came to power was to propose a proposal - to allow Zerg and humans to coexist peacefully.
The bill was first voted on in the Senate, and of course it was passed without any suspense. Only then did Lu Zhizhi truly see the power of Liu Congyun. Four of the twelve seats were within his sphere of influence, and the rest were Lu Zhizhi's. With Yuan’s vote and Lu Zhizhi’s own vote, more than half will pass.
However, after the Senate passed, it still needed the approval of the headquarters and the military headquarters, so Lu Zhizhi had been in and out of the military headquarters frequently recently. Now, it was inevitable that he would meet old acquaintances.
